Chapter 155: Chapter 69 Breakthrough, the membrane is like
“I’m sorry!” Qingyi said.
Just now, she had quietly followed behind Ning and Jiaer, and with her abilities, she naturally heard what Jiaer had said.
She understood that Jiaer didn’t think highly of Ning like she did.
In her heart, Jiaer clearly looked down on Ning, who came from a humble background.
Ning said, “Sister Lin, why should you apologize?”
Qingyi replied, “I hadn’t realized my niece thought this way; it turned out she ended up insulting you.”
Hearing this, Ning smiled, “Sister Lin is joking, how could this be considered an insult? Everyone has different pursuits, and what Jiaer said is not wrong!”
“Being mismatched in social standing, we really aren’t suitable for each other!”
Regarding what had just happened, Ning felt no ripples in his heart.
Having lived two lifetimes, if he were to get angry just because of what Jiaer had just said, his character would be too flawed.
Qingyi looked at Ning earnestly.
She smiled radiantly, and a very attractive smile appeared on her face.
“I have come to think even more highly of you! It’s Jiaer’s loss not seeing your worth. I believe there will come a day when she regrets it.”
Ning chuckled and said, “Sister Lin, you think so highly of me?”
Qingyi immediately nodded affirmatively, “Of course, I’ve come to admire you more and more!”
Then Qingyi sighed, “Senior Shen does indeed have a better eye than I do!”
Hearing the name Shen Congyun, Ning quickly asked Qingyi,
“Sister Lin, do you know how Senior Shen is doing now?”
“Don’t worry! He is fine,” Qingyi said. “Although he broke the rules, he is a potential future Grandmaster! Competent people always have some privileges.”
“Others breaking these rules might face severe punishment.”
“But he won’t be in much trouble; it will just be like a retreat for a while.”
“Shen Congyun knew this, which is why he took the initiative to intervene on your behalf.”
Hearing Qingyi’s words, Ning felt both surprised and reassured.
He was surprised that Shen Congyun was a potential future Grandmaster.
What is a Grandmaster?
That is someone who can establish his own sect.
Any Grandmaster, regarded across the entire world, holds a prestigious position.
A Grandmaster is best described as a one-man army.
Such individuals, placed in any power structure, are pillars of stability.
Moreover, as far as Ning knew.
Any Grandmaster breaks the mundane limit of life expectancy, usually reaching around 150 years.
This lifespan, let alone in this medically undeveloped era.
Even in his previous life, mankind had never recorded such a lifespan.
This fact alone testifies that the existence of a Grandmaster has already broken the limits of the species.
“Grandmaster! I will definitely take that step myself in the future.”
Ning thought to himself, full of confidence.
Leaving the Wanhua Building, Ning walked toward his home.
Tonight’s events were just a minor episode for him.
As for Jiaer, he quickly dismissed her from his mind.
Jiaer’s behavior, in Ning’s eyes, wasn’t exactly right or wrong, but it was not to his liking.
After seeing Ning off.
“Jiaer, you have really disappointed me,” Qingyi said sternly, looking at Jiaer.
Seeing Qingyi’s expression, Jiaer’s face instantly went pale.
Then she looked up at Qingyi.
“Aunt, did Ning say something bad about me?”
“Does my aunt trust an outsider, or does she trust me?”
Qingyi replied, “He didn’t say anything to me, but I was following right behind you two the entire time, so I heard everything you said just now.”
Hearing this, Jiaer’s face turned even paler.
She had wanted to defend herself,
but hearing what Qingyi said, she knew any defense would be pointless.
Because everything she had said to Ning had been overheard by her aunt.
Jiaer fell silent for less than two breaths.
She looked up at Qingyi, tears shimmering in her eyes, her expression defiant.
“Aunt, just as you heard.”
“In my eyes, Ning is not the ideal husband I wish for.”
“He comes from lowly origins, why should I lower myself to marry him!!”
“Lowly origins?” Qingyi couldn’t help but laugh in frustration, “Is background that important? Look back five generations, our Lin family ancestors were merely fishermen, also what you would call lowly.”
Jiaer retorted, “How can he be compared to the Lin family ancestors?”
“Why not?” Qingyi continued, “Are your horizons that narrow? Do you know someone broke the rules of the Wanhua Building to help him, and that person holds a status equal to mine and is even a potential future Grandmaster.”
“In my eyes, his future achievements will surpass those of the Lin ancestors by far.”
“With the world becoming increasingly chaotic, the Inspection Office has been established to patrol and oversee the people.”
“As the saying goes, chaotic times produce heroes, and such times are when capable people emerge.”
“Your vision is too narrow!” Qingyi said again.
“Aunt!” Jiaer looked up at her, “No matter how you praise him, it’s only your opinion! Jiaer does not want to gamble on his future.”
“Jiaer will only marry someone whose brightness I can see.”
“Moreover, I do not want to marry a man covered in the smell of sweat. My husband must be a modest gentleman, gentle as jade, someone I can be proud of, someone who can let me hold my head high in public.”
